Project Background: The Program Executive Office for Simulation Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has a requirement to modernize existing JPATS ATDs consisting of Operational Flight Trainers (OFTs), Instrument Flight Trainers (IFTs), and Unit Training Devices (UTDs) at six Air Force and three Navy sites. The JPATS ATDs support pilot and flight officer training in the T-6 Texan II aircraft. The JPATS ATDs were procured by the T-6 Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Raytheon Aircraft Corporation (RAC) (who became Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) in May 2007) to support the aircraft program. The procurement was via a performance specification through a subcontract issued to FlightSafety International, Inc. (FSI) by the OEM. FSI proposed and delivered to the OEM a proprietary solution involving both hardware and software. Data rights were not procured by nor delivered to the Government or the OEM. The original prime contractor, HBC, is no longer considered a viable solution to support the upgrades which are driven by obsolescence and concurrency issues. This leaves FSI the only remaining viable source for this effort. The effort consists of retrofitting all Electronic Control Loading Systems (ECLS) and Flight Deck Input/Output Systems (FDIOS) and upgrading all Windows XP and Windows 2000-based software to Windows 7 for 108 USAF and USN JPATS ATDs.
